Trickster, take a look at Cantus's post. Is there any need to add fuel to the fire?

Not trying to add fuel to the fire. Just trying to make you guys realize you are hypocrites if you defend democracy yet root for Spain in this. Theses guys are the same as Franco's and at this point, Rajoy is no better than a dictator.

And now for something completely interesting.
Houthis (saudis blame Iran) sent a rocket near Riyadh which Saudis shot down/
Saudis say it's an act of aggression and may even be considered an act of war..
Edit fixed some info got better source.

I say we use that civil asset forfeiture which is so common now and that "Shock 'em Straight" Sessions is such a big fan of. Seize all that money and use it to pay off a good chunk of the national debt.

Now for the first part of the video linked in that article. Okay, sure, I'll buy that a layman might not know how much the oceans have warmed in relation to the atmosphere, and I'll offer the half-assed explanation that she gave what she thought was a politically safe answer by saying "Well there's disagreement in the scientific community", and just didn't know when to back down from that statement when called out on it.

THAT SAID:

Water expands when it gets warm isn't something that requires more than an elementary school level's worth of chemistry education, so that's just friggin' depressing.

15 assholes were not prevented to manifest peacefully while people were looking for corpses of people killed during Franco's dictatorship.

Well, it's more the fact that the local government authorized it. There are local mayors openly francoist with the flag in their office. The crimes of the francoist regime were never investigated because the guys ruling the country were still in power when democracy started. The dictator's party is a legal political party nowadays.

Yesterday far right people who assaulted a catalan cultural event in 2013 were permitted to not enter prison because "they had children to care for".
On the other hand there's peaceful people in prison right now because "they cheered and instigated violence" on Barcelona when there are countless videos and the 24h news feed of that day online where anyone can see that those people were trying to defuse the situation. They have a family to care for too.

This country has no solution. It's an eternal cycle of hatred by one side and the other.

In Porto Alegre, the Marchezan Jr prefecture orders the Municipal Guard and SMIC¹ to crack down on street workers - Senegalese and Haitian immigrants in this case - and seize their wares. They act with cowardice and did not expect the indignant resistance of workers and passers-by. The video is this afternoon, in the northern part of the capital of RS. I received and I share.

So, fuck big companies trying to screw over everyone else in the world.

Quote:

These 4 companies, led by Bell, are pushing to create an internet "blacklist" of certain websites that all internet service providers in Canada would legally have to block. They know this outrageous proposal would never pass, so first, they tried to sneak it into NAFTA negotiations -- and now Bell is expected to introduce its proposal to Canada's telecom regulator TOMORROW.

Critics are calling this move "unprecedented" and dangerous. If these companies get their way, this internet blacklist would have absolutely zero oversight in the courts. We need to stop this urgently.

Will you join me in signing the petition to Bell, Rogers, Shaw, and Cineplex to drop their dangerous proposal now?
